C , informs us that on Monday last an individual named Joseph Dawson attacked Washington Morel, in tho street* of Graham*' ville, and that the parties exchanged fivo shots at each other, with pistols, without effect, bystander, however, received a spent ball flhe chest, which inflicted e alight wound. The affair created considerable excitement in the tillage. The Republican nndthe New Post Office Envelopes. The Republican. of yesterday has the fol lowing paragraph in reference to tho new stamped envelopes recently issued by tho Government: “From its incipiency to the present lime, we have regarded the nmnufocturo Rod sale of letter envelopes by. “Uncle Sam" us a picay une affair—not only because it is in competi tion with the private rights of stationers, but because it is tn itself, a business which we think ia ridiculous, contemptible and incom patible with nature and dignity of a great Government. The luw is extaot. however, and the envelopes, such as they are, are for sale, hut there is, happily, no obligation on the part of the people to purchase them, and we therefore are not particular whether the de- cimon of the Post-master General is right or wrong. * * * * * Wesuggeat * * * * * * that no person purchase these en velopes for use. Purchase your envelopes a* heretofore, from our book-mores and buy the stamps, which are useful uml convenient —from the post-office, and let “ Uncle Ham" keep his stamped envelopes—the old tiog. Then nobody will be alfected by the de- ciaion of the Posl-nmster, or care whather it ia reversed or not. Regarding, a* we have, the government envelopa ns a humbug, we have set our laces against their use, and never have mid never shall use them. This ia the ben way to reverse tho decision; * * * and it will lead to a repeal of the silly law; or which will be better-reader it obsolete, for it it not worth repealing. There has been much fault found by the preae, and justly too, with the manner in which the person who was employed to furnish the envelopes to tho government has performed his contract; but the Repub lican is the only paper of chacactei or any influence that lias, to our knowledge, made any objections to the very propor decision of the Post Master Gen eral,or that lias opposed the issue of eavelopee by the Government in lieu of stamps. The attempt to prejudice the intelligent public against in arrangement so eminently calcula ted to promote their convenience, with such denunciations and absurd arguments as those of the Republican, is simply ridiculous. The substitution of the envelop for tho stamp was adopted (or the convenience of the public and for the protection of tho Government again*! Irnud, and the decision of tho Post-Muster General, refusing to permit the stamps to be cut from the envoi ops, and pasted on other envelopes, thus making such a transfer presumptive evidence of fraud, cannot be objected to with any good reason. It is well known that the same post age stamp has been used more than onee, and that convictions for the fraud upou the Govern meat have been obtained. The stamps in th» country post-offices are often canceled with common pen and ink, tho marks of which aro effectually removed by the application of a little common acid, when the stomp may be used again almost without the possibility of detection. Not so with the stumped envelopes, which do uot even require the cauceling stump of the postmaster. The simple superscription on the envelope candle it, and a letter lltua enveloped, may be sent to any point, outside of the mail, by the snail-carriers themselves, and may be do livered to the person to whom it is directed, without passing|thiough the post-office. Cer tainly, no more convenient arrangement for the accommodation of the public, could be adopt ed by the Government. Aa for the right of the government to mo nopolize the manufacture and sale of envelopes we couceive that it has the eamo right to sup ply the public with envelopes for their lettsra that it has to monopolize the business of carry ing the mails; and the booksellers and envelope manufacturers hove no more cause to complain than bare the railroad and steamboat compa* nice, and the owners of horses and post-coach es. Ae a law-abiding and loyal citizen of our glorious Union, we regret to learn that our cotemporary has set his face against the law, and that ho has determined not to use (he en velops; we trust, however, that the govern mem will Im able to go or , notwithstanding. Governor Cobb nnd the Mission to France. For several days past says the Washington correspondent of the New York Post there have been fresh intrigues in operaiiou in regard to the mission to Franco; and the name ol Gov. Cobb, of Georgia, was very confidently pressed as the most fitting man—shall I say to supersede Gen. Dix 1—at any rote, as a very proper person to be sent as our minister to France. Under some circumstances, no ap pointment would be more acceptable ; but ev things ere at present situated, the policy of do ing so would be very questionable. However, fiom all that can be learned, this was very readily comprehended at tho White House, and Gov. Cobb vary opportunely declined the honor, preferring to serve bis State in the Unit ed States Senate, to which tbero is a reasona ble probability of bis being returned during the next winter. I ventured to predict to you, neversl weeks ago, that if the mission was not conferred on Gen. Dix, it could not be given to any one very remote frotnNew York; we have but to reiterate that opinion. It ia said that the President is rather hard headed, and if be Ime really taken up hie position for Dix, or for some other unexceptionable man in the same Htste, be will not be very readily swerved from hie purpose. Yellow Fever at Bea.—The NorfollSa- pera have informed ua that Ibe ship National Eagle, of Boston, from New Orleane to Liver pool, had been spoken off the Capet of Dela ware with all on board sick with the Yellow Fevsr. The steamer Roanoke, which had •poken the National Eagle, furnishes the fol lowing statement: “She had been 19 days at ■ea, and upon the tenth day after leaving port, the yellow fever had broken out with great virulence. Three, passengers, several of tho crew (including the mate,) end the Captain's wife had died with it, and at the time the Roa noke came up with the unfortunate vessel, the Captain's daughter waa at the point of death, and the Captain himaelf suffering with tho same fatal malady. The poor fellows on deck, begged piteously for a physician and for a knowledge of their bearings, no observation having been taken for five days. There was no phyaician on hoard the Roanoke, and ao no other relief could be afforded the vessel, but an instruction as to its true reckoning, aud advice for obtaining a pilot to take them into the Delaware breakwater, from which they were not distant more than fifty miles. This done, the Roanoke was compelled to leave the ship, proceeded on her course." CgT A Masonic Lodge in Michigan ha* passed resolutions, celling upon the Masonic Lodges throughout the country, to unite in raising a fund for the purchase of Mount Ver non, in order to save it from anticipated degra dation. Pacific Railroad. — The Washington Union contains a leading editorial urging the construction of a railway to the Pacific. The article urges tho constitutionality of the right of the general government to aid the work, and bases it upon the war power, which it aflirms lobe ample for the purpose. Atmospheric Telegraph.—The subscrip tion to the stock of the company which propo to build a line of this invention, for the purposo of transporting letters and parcels be tween Boston nnd New York in fifteen minutes, is said by a Boston paper to be steadi’y advan dng. The Bahamas Halt Crop.—A letter dated Inagua, Bahama Islands, July 8th, says;— Our salt prospects are now looking promising, and should our present boautiful weather continue for the season, wo may rake two millions of bushels, and the qualify of salt so fur is, I think, equal to if not superior to anything ever afcen. Wo anticipate good prices, as we notice it is high in some mar kets, and nil the wiudward islands have suf fered severely from heavy rains. tw Harvard College conferred the degree of L. L. I)., upon Hon. Nathan Hale, editor of the Boston Daily Advertiser, before Union College conferred the same honor upon W. C- Brtant, editor of tho New York Evening Post, UV Tho New Orleans Bulletin announces the formation of several Lodges ol the Filibus tering Order of the Lono .Star in Louisiana. North Carolina Lead.-*A rich deposit of lead, it is said, has boen discovered in David son county, North Carolina. Arrangements for working the mines ere being made by a very energetic c ti/.en of that county. Hay.—In parts of the country the drougth has diminished tho crops of hay ; hut in Con necticut and the southern parts of New York it has been very heavy. In getting it in, in Winchester, it has been somewhat damaged, owing to heavy and fiequent rains. cr The National Intelligencer, comment ing upon a recent articlo in the Union, in favor of building the Pacific Railroad with tho sur plus revenue, says: “Wo cannot be in error in presuming that the article expresses the views of the [Execu tive on this important question; its formality, nd its justification of tho opinions expressed by two of the cabiuet ministers in public speeches a week or two ago on the same sub ject, leave no doubt of its suini-official charac ter. Viewing in this light, we could hardly believe that wo read it aright. Have for its greater ability, we could almost imagine that we were reading an article of the Infelligencer of the olden time, when we used to do battle for the same doctrines against the school of Mlrict constructionists, who denied to the gov ernment almost every power except that of making war nnd laying taxes ; and when we had read the article through, we could hurdly per.,audo ourselves that wo had not been pe rusing one or Mr. Clay's noble speeches iu defence of the constitutional power of internal improvement, so similar aro the arguments of the two." tsr i 'he Pilgrim celebration at Plymouth Mass., on Monday, must have been a magnifi cent affair. A letter from there to the New York Times, dated Monday efternoon says : The day was ushered in by a national sa lute, aud ringlfig of bells at sunrise. The town was soon alivo. It was a matter of as tonishment where tho numbers could have been stowed away who turnod out from overy hotel and every private dwelling, of large and small pretensions. Then in came the trains from Boston, laden with their human freight from the town and country. In they poured, filling the line of procession with wondering eyes, and fresh and happy faces. The whole towu waacovcred with arches, mottoes end de corations. Nor was tho religious aspect of the day for gotten. At A. M.« divine service was held m the First Church, which was well attended. The military and civic procession is iurgo and imposing. Arriving at the Pavilion, the vited guests and others, to whom tickets * issued, were ushered in by the comtnitiee ol arrangements : and, while 1 dispatch this, the collation is being discussed by some 2500 peo ple. Hoon tho largo PavilUon will ho filled with th«y eloquence of Everett, Sumner, Hale and the rost. lion. R. C. Winthrop is at Ni agara, and utmble to bo present. A melancholy event occurred this morning, to casta gloom over tho rejoicing of the day. Hou. Nathan Mitchell, Judge, of Boston, drop ped euddeuly dead, at the houso of Mr. Win. G. Davis, a few minutes after his arrival from BobIuii. Attempt to Hob the Uisikicv Attor ney’s Office.—Ahmit-inidnight on the night of the 19th uit., while the watchman, Miller, was on duty nt the New Court Building, he heard a nose in one of the upper stories. When he ascended half the flight, he saw n man emerging from tho room on the third floor, occupied by District Attorney Blunt. On the landing, a powerful athletic fellow confronted him without show of fear. The watchman demanded what he wanted. “That is my business," replied the intruder. * ‘ You had better keep clear ol me." Mr. Miller, not being satisfied with this answer, instantly seized the stranger by thu coat collar, aud bade him consider himself a prisoner. “ You are u t enough for me,” replied the burglar, cooty; “ and if you do not let me go, you'll repent it." Then the burglar attempted to throw him over the ballueter of the stairs, but not succeeding in the effort, he again aud again struck the unfortunate watchman over the head with a heavy stick, loaded at each end with loadeu ball*, and < in the face, fracturing iiis jaw, cutting his lips to pieces, breaking the cartilage of hisuoae, and knocking out several of his teeth. The door commuuicnting with Chauibers-street was open, and the burg lar dragged the watchman out upon the side- walk, dealt him one stunning blow aud left him. The burglar is still at largo, notwith standing the utmost exartionB of the police to effect his capture.—7V. Y. Express. Foreign Ministers with American Wives.—Don Calderon do la Barca, Spanish Minister at Washington, now summoned, as Minister of Foreign Affairs, at home, married an American lady ; Mr. Bodisco, the Russian miuister, has an American wife, and a family of seven children American born; Monsieur Pegeot, a former, and M. 8artiges,the present, French Minister at Washington, have both American wives. Would it not be well, remarks the N. Y. Post, in view pf the influence which ourcoun- try women are acquiring in foreign courts, that they should have a representative in the State Department? We aubmit, that at least the Deputy Secretary should be of the feminine geuder. (From tbs WaaUhgton National Intelllgsnoer.] From France* The following is an extract from a letter ad dressed to a gentleman in this city, from high ly respectable authority: Paris, July 12,1853 —The Russian ques tion is not ns you read in the public journals, and will probably terminate, as I learn front high authority, unfavorably. Thera is here a great wont of confidence in “ La Per fide Al bion." The Emperor said a few days since ; “I shall be careful not to commit s folly or set with cowardice." Very large shipments of arms are going forward to Constantinople from Toulon and Marseilles, but in a very quiet manner, and the journals, even if aware of the fact, would not dare to publish it. Notwithstanding all that is said to the con trary, be assured that the Emperor is no com mon man. He has more courago (if more has ever been given to any man) than Iris illustri ous uncle; he is as firm as any man on earth, reflecting, cool, and always eelf-poseessed.— A famine was dreaded in consequence of the future prospect of the crops, and the Govern ment made immense purchases of grain, with a view to sell it at reasonable rates to tim poorer classes in cose of a scarcity. No famine however will occur. Wheat is declining, and the har vest is safe. In Provence, and mure particu larly in Languedoc, it is well secured, and they ore harvesting, and at the North the weather is good, wrlh every appearance of continuing. If to, the crop will bo more than an overage. This will be a source of vast wealth for Fronce, as she will supply England with groin and drain her of the im mense amount of California gold which she is receiving from the United Htntes. If England is not true to France, nnd Nicho las carries on a war with the Moslems, look out for great events. My own opinion, found ed on those much better informed, is, the Turks will eventually consent to acknowl edge the Empori.r Nicholas as protector of the Greek Church in Turkey. If so, it will be of inure importance to his future plane than the acquisition of "four provinces on the Dun- nlie." Eleven millions of Greeks nnd onl) three millions of Turks in Europe! England is so noxious for peace that she will swallow tho bait; end soon the Greeks will riso in n f eneral revolt. There will ho no need of a lussiau army, nnd (lie Tuiks so long “en camped in Europe" (it has been nothing more) will bo obliged to “strike their tents" and re tire into Asia. Europe nt present is but a smothered volcano, arid Italy and Germany would soon he on tire. Even kn this country it requires the strong government of the Emperor to keep down the Hocinlists; and tlmtof itself makes him popular. In Rim alone all partios have confidence, including the Lo- f ;itimistn nnd tho younger branch of the Or- eanists—both dread the Hocinlists. The name of Napoleon, “the great Napoleon," is deai to this people, who also Hrc ill favor of thr present Napoleon; nil think ho is necessary to prevent a civil war, otherwise he would not hnvo such numerous partisans, if he were to die or be killed, it would bo all over with the Bonapvrtn family, as he alone enjoys confi dence, but none of tho others in tho least de gree. Whatever may be tho course of events iu Europe, the United Htntes liuva a plain policy marked out before them, and if they will only continue in the path laid down by the illus trious founders of tho Republic, and keep en tirely aloof from all matters of European politics and disconnected from all their quar rels, a magnificent destiny awaits them. LuropeiLii tlilt-Chnl. London,July 15.—Apprehensions respect ing a European war are rapidly subsiding. In the House of Commons, last night, in reply to a question from D'lsracli, it was officially sta ted by Lord John Russell, that the English and French governments had mode proposi tions which might he acceded toby those ol Rusaia or Turkey, and might be the means ol leacefully terminating their unfortuuute dif ference*. Home time must elapse before a rc ply could be received from Ht. Fcterburg, and, bile tho matter was in a state of negotiation, 3 thought it would rut bo desirable to moke it a subject of diecussiou in Parliament. Thin is confirmed by a telegraph dispatch from Vienna, announcing that “a note drawn up by the English,.French, Austrian snd Prus sian Ambassadors nt Constantinople, bus been copied by the Hullan, and forwarded to Ht Petersburg, for the approval of the Emperor ol Russia. The nolo contains the condition of n settlement of the points at innue, and it is con sidered probuhlu that it will not be rejected. It is spoken of as drawn up with a duo con sideration for the dignity of all parties." Tho report from Paris is to the same effect, and the English funds, which rallied yester day, on receipt of this news, have risen again to-day. It does not look much like war with Russia, for the Grand Duchess Marie, widow of thr Duke of Leuchtenburg, and eldest daughter oi the Emperor Nicholas, have come to England with her six children, Hhe and they have all gone Dr reside at Torquay, in Devonshire.

Remlnlucencew of Air* JeUerson. The Editor of the Richmond Dispatch gives the following College raminUcences of Mr. Jefferson hen visiting the Virginia University : 1 have frequently soon him on horsobaek, and re collect perfectly the manner in which lie curried u ‘—oil in the saddle. He was a suporb horsemuti, when an octnBeninn, and always rode n good horse. 1 have heard that he was a fine judge of horse flesh, and valued himself on account of his skill in that particular, very uearly as much as upon his public services. The influence which he exercised over the mind* of the students was very great, and was exemplified in a striking manner tho session before f hocatne n student. Several young men Invilig dressed them selves up Ksludinns, appeared on tlte lawn and col lected such a crowd around them, that several of the professors thought it their duly to interfere. In at tempting to discover the authors of tho disturbance one of them was knocked down and one other very badly used, though uot to the same extent. The fa culty met that night, aud in solemn conclave resolv ed to suspend all the exercises of the institution until Ilia authors of the riot wore discovered and punished. For several days there were no lectures, and Mr. Jefferson called together the board of visitors for the purpose of deciding upon the courso proper to bn pursued. Tho university was iu a critical situa tion ; its existence, so it seemed to him, depended on the issue of the existing crisis. Tho Muilentu were all summoned to appear in oue of the public rooms, and there they were brought face to fuc«* with the visitors. The nerves of the guilty niu.i have linen pretty severely tried, for they stood io }jir presence of three ox presidents (Jeflerhou, Madison, and Monroe,) and had thorn for their jury. The task of addressing them was assigned to Chapinuu Johnson, atthui time in tho very zonith of his pow era and reputation. Ho made, it was said, one oi tho moutdihlliautof his many great speeches. He spoke of the vast difficulties which Mr. Jefferson had overcome iu obtaining tho means to establish that noble seat of learning, of tho jealousy with which it was watched by numerous enemies, ever ready to convert the slighter untoward incident into a weapon of assault, of tiie fearful advnntagi which tho lute riot had givon thorn over its friendi and of the use which they would bo sure to make of it. He appealed to the patriotism of tboso who hud been most forward in promoting the disorder, to come forth like men and sacrifice themselves for the good of their State, not concealing from them the fact, that expulsion must be tho inevitable con sequence. This speech produced a powerful iiu pression, which w-ns heightened to *uch a degrer when “ Old Tom" (tho pet uumeofMr. Jefferson) rose to hack it, and in a voice feeble from age, ap pealed to their senso of honor, that there was not n dry eye in the house. To the oternal honor of the rioters, some of whom have since become distin guiched in various avocations, not a man hung hack. Every one canto up, without consulting his neigh hnr, and so far as ho was individually concerned, told the whole truth. No one told upon his neigh hor, for it was aluudutnantal rule of the college law» that no student was bound to bear witness against hia fallow. By the bye, the University was indebted to Mr. Jefferson for that law, und it was. I believe, the first institution in the country in wLich such law was established. A Locomotive Village. — The Illinois Journal says that a new piau of accommo dating laborers on railroad improvements is practised on the Chicago end Mississippi rail road. The entile working force on this road is one hundred persons, who live in cars fitted up for the purpose of boarding the men, and are pushed along aa the rails are laid—ihu* securing the advantage of having the men al ways near their work.{This locomotive board ing-house or village, comprises fifteen large covered cars, with all necessary conveniences for cooking, eating, and sleeping. They carry the cows aiongtlihey gruzo alongside, and arc put in their atolls when the locomotive village changes ground. The Vagaries of Table Moving.—A correspondent of tho Manchester Guardian, in describing some experiments, says:-—Tho ti bia being put in rapid motion, a Bible, folded in paper, was placed upon it, wheu the luble •topped instantly, aud could not be induced to go again so long as the precious vulumc re mained upon it. The Bible was removed, and a copy of Bunyan's Filgrim's Progress placed in its stead, when the table revolved us before. A Prayer Book was tried with the like results; And the whole service of the Church of En gland failed to arrest its rotary motion. Whilst it wan again and again revolving with consid erable velocity, the Bible was again and again substituted, but with unvarying results. Af ter regaling these experiments several times, one of the parly suggested that the Bible should be unfolded aud opened, to try if some portions of it were more powerful thnii others. This was done; when lo! and behold! what had been believed to be the Bible, proved to be a.copy #/ Gulliver's Travels. Fancy the cQnsterj*.vton of the operators at this discove- ry, (the hoax ouly being known to one of the party.) I may add, the experiment was again tried, but Gulliver exposed, had lost its power. CsrimescesieBt at Ae University sf Georgia* % Recent eevere indisposition has prevented us from giving due attention to the Annual Commencements of the various institutions of learning in our Htate. We have opportunity now only for a few extracts from the Athens Banner's account of the interesting exercises nt the State University. The editor says In accordance with the excellent custom which liae now become time-honored, the first day of the week was observed by wlmt is called “Commencement Sermon,” but which does not differ from ordinary evangelical dis courses, except in being delivered in the Col lege Chapel, on the Sabbnth proceeding com mencement. As all the Churches in Athens are closed on this Sabbath, the Chapel is usually thronged with a highly intelligent and respectable audience. This was the case on the present occasion. The preacher was the Rev. Dr. Preston, Pastor of the Independent Presbyterian Church of Savannah. Those who went tn the Chanel expecting In he enter* mined with a pulpit flourish, in the form of a discourse copiously bespangled with figures of rhetoric, and delivered in such a way as to “split the oars of the groundlings," were un doubtedly disappointed. Those who attended in tho hope ot listening lo a discussion of scriptural truth pertinent to the occasion, ex pressed in perspicuous style, and delivered in a dignified and impressive manner, must have been interested and profited. On Monday afternoon, fourteen young gen tlemen of the Sophomore Class entered into competition for the two prize medals, which are usually awarded on these occasions.

At the close of the orarious, the sophomore orators presented themselves before the stage to listen to the address of Judge Johnson, und to receive the medals which had been adjudged to the successful competitors. The Judgo held the audience in the most profound si lence whilst he presented some thoughts which were new and striking, on the thread bare but fascinating topic of eloquence. He gave the best definition of eloquence to which we have ever listened. It consisted, he said, iu “ knowledge, faith and zealthat is, a thorough knowledge of the subject, unshaken confidence in the justice of our principles, and uncompromising devotion to their support.— We should be most happy to gratily our rend ers by spreading before them an address which won the most unmixed encomiums from all classes of people. In awarding the medals ho stated the difficulty which the committee had found in drawing distinctions where oil were admirable. Mr. E. 8. Law, of Savan nah, received the first medal, and Mr. George VV. Galtaway of LaGrauge received the sec ond premium. Yesterday was Commencement day. At an early hour the Chapel waa thronged with ono of those brilliant audiences which such occa sions usually convene.

Our University was never so flourishing as at tho present time. The class ju*t graduated was the largest which It has ever sent forth from its halld. No institution offers o'pportu nilied for education superior to those which are enjoyed at the University of Georgia, Cincinnati, July 30. — The Cincinnati Counterfeiters.—The gang of counterfeiters rocently arrested here wete examined before Judge Spooner to-day, and held to bail in the sum of $10,000 each, for counterfeiting, and $5,000 each, for robbery, they having several sheets of genuine bills of the Ohio State Bank in their possession. They were cotnntitted to prison in default of bail. Culture of the Grape in the West.— The culture of the grape in the West, espec ially near the shores of the Ohio river, hus lately become of considerable importance. The Cincinnati Cazrtte says : Mr. Lougwurth will this year have on hand and for sale about 20,000 bottles sparkling Ca tawba ; Messrs. Longworth 6c Zimmerman, some 60,000 bottles dry Catawba, exclusive of a quantity of wine, sufficient for 190,000 bot tles : Messrs, Bogen, Corneau 6c Bon, Work and others, from 80 to 100,000 bottles Spark ling Cutuwbn. Tho adjacent country of Cincinnati has about 1,500 acres of laud in cultivation and hearing vines ; other places in the States of Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, about 500 ; Mis souri and Illinois, 200 : together, 2,200 acres. The overage crop of in acre is 200 gallons of wiue, amounting, therefore, in the aggregate to 440,000 gallons annually, which sells read ily at $1 per gallon. A Public Park near Philadelphia.— We stated a few days ago, that the “ Hunting Pork Course" had heeo purchased by several gentlemen, of Philadelphia, for the purpose of having it converted into a public park and pleasure ground, for the free use of the citizens of that city and county. The lot, which con tains 44 acres, was purchased by eleven gen tlemen, for $44,000, each contributing $4,000. They purpose, it appears, to allow the citizens to subscribe the amount (necessary to reim burse them for their outlay, and already ten subscribers, of $1,000 each, have been secured, besides which the eleven original purchasers have uach subscribed nu equal amount, leav ing only $23,000 (o be raised, in order to secure the proposed park. GT St. Francis Xavier’s (Catholic) Church, ■t Gettysburg, Pa., was dedicated by Bishop Newman. Louisville, Aug 1,1853.—Kentucky Elec* Iten.—Fifth Congressional District.—A few returns are leceived, indicating a vory close race, and the result is doubtful. Seventh District.—The majority for Presfoo, (whig), in this city, is 1,250. Wolf (whig) is elected 8tate Senator. Eighth (Ashland) District.—J. C. Brocken- ridge (dem.) ia sleeted by a handsome ma jority. Table Moving Tested in North Caro lina.—The Danville Register contains an ac count of a test to which table moving bad been Buffeted in the good county of Caswell, North Carolina, at the store of Messrs. Blackwell 6c Mitchell—and which acted adversely to the rappers. A Mr. Cordy Whiteheart, who had been humbugged by the rappers somewhere into a belief in table-moving, when Mr. John B. Blackwell (a real strong-minded common- sense man) offered to Whiteheart that if he would allow him to select six men of unque*. tionable veracity to test the experiment, he would bet $100 that the table would not move three feet in two and a half hours. The bet waa taken the men selected, and tlieday appointed. A pine table 15 by 24 inches was ordered, and on the appointed day the parties assembled— judges were appointed, and the men who took seats round the table under the direction of Mr. Whiteheart sworn by a regular justice of of the peace- The top of the table was solid, and without nails, and it was placed on glass. The persons around the table obeyed the di rections of Mr. Whiteheart, and eat for two hours and a half at their posts ; but the table did not move a jot. Tho money was paid over to Blackwell, and Whiteheart was tho loser by that much for hia credulity. . Marine Memoranda of Lightning.-!. Thunder nnd lightning storms, the present year, have been fearfully active on the sea as well os on the land. Two ships and their car goes, and also a sloop have been wholly de stroyed by lightning, and a ship loaded with notion set on fire and narrowly escaped de struction. There are, doubtless, many vessels destroyed by lightning that go down In the deep and aro hoard of. no more. The New York Herald gives a list ol 24 vessels which h*ve been struck by lightning during the pres ent year, and all more or less injured. It i.i •aid that in no instanco has there been loss of life in a building or vessel provided with me- talic lightning conductors, while iron ships, iron buildings, steannrs nnd steamboats, all afford protection against lightning, and there is not to be found a case of loss of life by light ning in an iron ship, iron building, steamer or steamboat.
